Public Service Announcement: The Cream Puffs Will Go On

Aziza's on Main closes in June, but its cream puffs found a new home.

Although news that Pizza Tonight found a brick-and-mortar home is exciting, Richmond diners were devastated that Aziza's on Main would close. (Pizza Tonight is moving into the building.)

People were particularly upset when they realized that Rusty Fallen's cream puffs would disappear with the restaurant.

However, take heart, Richmonders! Billy Fallen, Rusty's son, confirmed that his mother will continue to make cream puffs. They will reappear on the menu of Rancho T at 1 Morris St. after Rusty finishes a brief break from the oven.

"Growing up, I never thought they were special," Billy says. "It wasn't until we opened Aziza's and people went crazy over them."

We make sense of the news; pursue those in power; explore the city's arts and culture; open windows on provocative ideas; and help readers know Richmond through its people. We give readers the information to make intelligent decisions.
